"I had thought of this solution long ago and even quietly tested the waters with them. In the end, they flatly refused. They want to see Chuxia succeed, not to rely on her husband's family for everything."
"Yanqiu, you know about Chuxia's grandparents and how they were deeply hurt by that old couple. They're terrified that one day we might change our faces and Chuxia will be unable to live on her own." Old Madam Zhou heaved a sigh. "Forget it, I'll talk it over with Chuxia later. For this matter, it's better to listen to her opinion."
"That works." Lin Yanqiu nodded in agreement with her mother-in-law's suggestion. Turning to see Zhou Xikang and Yu Tao following Zhou Xiangping downstairs, she helped Old Madam Zhou to her feet. "Mom, let's have breakfast first."
"Where are Xiaomi and Chuxia?" Zhou Xikang asked.
Lin Yanqiu chided with a smile, "Your grandfather, your father, and your second uncle and aunt aren't here either. Why didn't you notice them?"
